Well the data patch is out, and it helps some, but it still needs more help.
Find someone else who has it before buying MOO3, it is not MOO or MOO2 at all. And while I thought the goal was macromanagement with micro if you want to, it wasn't. It was we are going to force macro on you and give you illusary control on a lot of things, and yet we are still going to make you micro spies and ships and some other things. On top of that, they throw a lot of numbers at you, but still manage to not really give you much feedback or useful information in order make good decisions. I'm still hoping the code patch will fix a lot of the minor annoyances (the developers are posting on the official board as to what the patch has currently fixed). But I just don't know. The first 100 turns are somewhat fun, then it gets dumb, partly because the computer AI still sucks.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
